Draw me a perfect white shirt
If you were asked to draw us the perfect white shirt, what would it look like? You would surely focus on the visible parts — the collar, the cuffs, the buttonhole. And your perfect shirt would very likely look quite different from your neighbor's, wouldn't it? We also regularly take on that challenge, but beyond focusing on the visible, we pay attention to what you can't see, or not right away: the craftsmanship. Carefully made with finishes worthy of the tailor's art, our workshop knows how to turn our designs into reality. But what inspires our designs above all is the foundation of a perfect shirt: its fabric. And every now and then, we come across a truly exceptional fabric that stands apart from all others — one we're ready to go all out for...
The white shirt for everyone and every occasion
The perfect white shirt, the ideal formal shirt, the shirt of supreme elegance — this shirt literally left us speechless and we couldn't settle on just one name. At first glance, it has everything of a classic white shirt: an Italian collar that suits every face shape and allows absolute freedom in terms of accessories, a simple placket with visible buttons, and double cuffs for that extra touch of elegance. But at the touch — or even in the drape — this shirt has nothing in common with an ordinary white shirt, and for that there is only one reason: the exceptional cotton twill from the Hampton range by Thomas Mason.
This shirt is the formal shirt for those who don't dare the wing collar, it's also the wedding shirt for the groom-to-be looking for an exceptional piece for his big day, and it's also the business shirt for those who simply appreciate beautiful things. In short, it's the timeless and elegant white shirt for all (great) occasions.
An exceptional fabric by Thomas Mason
Thomas Mason: the iconic English weaver
A two-hundred-year heritage
If you are looking for a quality shirt, you absolutely must pay attention to its fabric. And among high-end shirting fabrics, there is one name in particular you need to know: allow us to introduce the British house adopted by the Italian Albini group, Thomas Mason. Founded in 1796 by Sir Thomas Mason himself, the house is today recognized worldwide for its timeless and elegant style with just a hint of British eccentricity. From the wrinkle-resistant mini-twill to the soft flannel, we have already offered you several beautiful shirts by Thomas Mason. But with this shirt, we have the pleasure of introducing you to something truly exceptional — a range usually reserved for made-to-measure, called Hampton.

Thread count, the key element of a high-quality shirt
140/2 Egyptian cotton twill
Beyond the reputation of its weaver, do you know the key element for assessing the quality of a shirt fabric? Two words: thread count and twist. The first is slightly more complex, as it refers to the fineness of the yarn based on the length-to-weight ratio. The second simply indicates whether the warp and weft threads have been doubled (or more). It is said that the higher the index, the finer the fabric and therefore the higher the quality.
The twill weave of this shirt is almost imperceptible. This is due to the high 140/2 thread count of the fabric. The yarns used are very fine and double-twisted, hence the "2". By comparison, a ready-to-wear shirt has a thread count of between 60 and 80s. Generally, a fabric is considered good quality when its thread count is equal to or greater than 100s. However, more does not always mean better — beyond 160s, the fabric will certainly be very soft, but also very prone to creasing and quite delicate.
How to wear this white shirt
The very essence of the white shirt is that it is timelessly elegant and infinitely adaptable. We wanted this white shirt to be more elegant — even ceremonial — to do justice to its exceptional fabric. That is why we designed it with double cuffs. The classic combination of the Italian collar and the simple placket gives you the freedom to choose your accessories according to your mood or the occasion: a business event? Go for a silk grenadine tie. A wedding? Opt for a pre-tied bow tie. A more casual evening? No tie, no bow tie — simply undo one button for a nonchalant elegance. And for the rest of the outfit, anything goes, from a tuxedo to a suit to chino trousers.
